STOPPING OF ADDITIONAL PENSION DUE TO
NON RECEIPT OF CORR PPO FROM PCDA(P) ALLAHABAD.
It has come to our notice that DPDO Rohtak (Haryana) had stopped the payment of Additional Pension to one Hon.Lt.Mool Chand (Age.90 years) due to non receipt of Corr.PPO from PCDA(P) Allahabad in spite of sending PAN Card (Age Proof document as Circular No.417).
The PCDA(P) Allahabad, the supreme authority for sanctioning defence pension has been given 6 months time to issue Corr PPO. Any delay in the administrative procedure, should not deny the already sanctioned benefit of Additional Pension to an aged pensioner.
The benefit of Additional pension is given to the pensioners above 80 years, who are passing the days with great hardship. At this stage, stopping the additional pension due to PCDA(P)’s delay in issuing the CORR PPO is inhuman.
If the PCDA(P) feels that the time frame given for issue of Corr PPO is insufficient, they may extend and wave the said stipulation for obtaining Corr PPO, but the additional pension should not be stopped at any cost.
The all India ex-servicemen organizations may take up the issue with the Dept. of exsm. Welfare.
It is a very useful message and a very good case that every Ex-serviceman should know the problem. The DPDO or the Bankers cannot simply say there is no date of birth , hence no additional pension. the Circular 417 should be read and understood properly , then to be decided .The effected ESM has received the Mail and thanked fro bringing the matter to light.
